[alexkyk]

Hello,
I bought a Nuvi2465 in Japan and used it there for 1 year. Now I'm back in Malaysia and I would like to know how I can import the Malaysia/S'pore maps so I can use it here in Malaysia?

I've followed the instructions in the link, but my device cannot detect the downloaded map??? Please help! Thank you!!!

Hello sifus out there... GPS seems working fine after downloading latest MFM maps, but when it zooms in to 300m level or lower, the roads disappear and I cannot see the map properly? Any advice why this happens and how to fix? thanks!

This issue appear when you create a map by transfer MAP by using Mapsources directly,there is a method to solved this problem.

1. Uninstall / delete the map that you just transfered / install by using a mapsources before ( this need some knowledge where the previous map installed )
2. Run again a program of MFM map ( re-install again an MFM map etc MFM 131021 )
3. At the step ( Select mapsources display option ) pick / choose Customs Polygon & POI ( for uploading to Nuvis/Stretpilot/Mobile XT )
4. Click Next
5. Pay Attention where does the map location will installed
6. Do you wish to create " gmapsupp " ? - YES
7. Thick all map options ,for options no # 4, its belong to you,for me i didnt thick it..coz i didnt understand chinese
8. Map display options - ( custom polygon N POI )
9. Generate Maps ( proceed to generate maps with above option ? ) - YES
10. wait till cmd prompt windows finish / done
11.MFM gmapsupp has being created,do you wish to copy it to your GPS devices ? its depend to you, YES or NO.
12. If you choose NO,you can manually add the Map by looking the Map file in the directory like i mention you in step # 05 above,
or in its default location C/Garmin/Malfreemaps
13.Find the map file with title " gmapsupp " ,and transfer it manually to your devices.
14.Nuvi 2465 recognise map file with any name if you create a folder name " Map " in its root , strictly " Map " not " Maps " in its internal memory ( Dont ask me how to put map in SD card,i dont have SD card in all my GPS unit. )
15. If this success,check at your GPS unit setting,in Map options,there will be 3 file for MFM maps thats can be select / deselect with name
- MFM-Garmin 131021
- Mfm Poi 131021
- Mfm Poi 131021
16.you must select / thick the box all 3 of this MFM file to make it useable,and this also indicate that you has successfull install MFM custom map.
17. Note,this MFM map doesnt have JV functions,but it will covered up to Thailand,SG,Brunei and some Topo Map for Mys.

Hope this will help you, TQVM n Regards and happy navigating with MFM.

My suggestions,please backup whole file in your internal memory of your GPS unit before doing anything,including in " hidden file " .
